Growing up in North West England and in Germany, Anna wrote plays about talking animals, and stories about naughty children, and drew on every available surface. After school, she did an Art Foundation course, then a degree in German Literature & Philosophy at Oxford University. In 1998 she found her perfect job at Usborne in London, writing about everything from curious penguins to trips to the Moon. Usborne.com
As far as a peek-a-boo book goes, it's fine--but nothing really exciting. I've read plenty of others that were much more exciting. The illustrations are cute and colorful, and there are a few unusual ocean creatures who make appearances. But in the end, I feel rather indifferent toward it.
My toddler loves to turn the pages, point to the animals and have me say the name. My bigger kids like to point to the 'lost' items. We count items, we name colors, we invent new ways to use the book. It's an occasional favorite around here.
